1
Pulse the 2 chopped peppers in a food processor until finely chopped. Process in the mayonnaise and paprika to mix well. Coarsely chop 4 of the shrimp, and stir into the mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper.
2
Lay the tortilla halves flat on a clean work surface, with the rounded edges facing you. Gently roll each tortilla into a cone shape, folding in a bit of the rounded edge on your first roll, so the filling will be enclosed.
3
To fill the wraps, pack half of the lettuce into the 8 tortilla "cones." Top the lettuce with the shrimp-mayonnaise mixture, the diced avocado and bell pepper, and then the remaining lettuce. Garnish each wrap with 1 whole shrimp. Allow two wraps per person, and serve immediately.

notes

To cut a pepper with minimal effort, slice off the top and bottom. Make 1 lengthwise cut and "unroll" the pepper, skin-side down. Scrape away the exposed seeds and membrane, then cut into strips or chop.
